Temple Hills couple identified in murder-suicide

Prince George’s County Police are investigating what appears to be a murder-suicide between a husband and wife in Temple Hills.

At about 2 p.m. Wednesday, police were called to the 5500 block of Winston Street to check on the welfare of an elderly man and woman. When they arrived, they found 72-year-old Virginia Velasco and 72-year-old Armando Velasco each suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. They were pronounced dead at the scene.

The preliminary investigation suggests Armando Velasco shot and killed his wife, then took his own life. A gun was recovered at the scene.
